This sermon on Luke 10:1–11, 16–20, explores the missional call of Jesus to a life that is bold, vulnerable, and grounded in peace. Drawing from both Scripture and the words of civil rights leader Vernon Jordan, he reflects on the cosmic consequences of faithful discipleship and the power of God's people to cast down the forces of evil through love, justice, and embodied witness. This sermon reminds us that while the mission may be costly and the opposition fierce, we have been here before - and we know the way forward. The way of Christ still leads us into shared purpose, community, and hope.

This sermon invites us into the long, faithful work of following Christ after the fire of Pentecost and the mystery of Trinity Sunday. Preaching from Luke 8:26–39, it explores Jesus’ encounter with the Gerasene demoniac as a revelation of how the Triune God crosses boundaries to restore, heal, and send. With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, the sermon calls the Church to become a community that names injustice, restores dignity, and lives the Gospel in the everyday rhythms of discipleship.

This sermon explores the living mystery of the Trinity through Jesus’ promise that the Spirit will guide the Church into all truth. It proclaims that the unity of God is not abstract but incarnate, not distant but drawing near. In a world fractured by division, this sermon invites the faithful to be shaped by the Spirit who declares the oneness of God and forms the Church to live that unity in grace, communion, and love.
